Qin Sheng didn't know how to answer when he heard Zhang Shumo's words, Qin Sheng could guess a little about Zhang Shumo's thoughts, but what was Zhang Shumo's reason for admitting it so directly?

Seeing that Qin Sheng didn't speak, Zhang Shumo continued: "Su Yi is suspicious, he is worried that I invited him back to take advantage of him, so he cut the power and soldiers in my hands. To say that I'm not angry is false, but I can't help it! Now the northwest seems to be a three-legged stand, but in fact, Liu Ye still has the upper hand, if I don't unite with Su Yi, I will inevitably be broken by Liu Ye, so I have to endure this breath! ”

"Since you have decided to swallow your anger, why do you still want to act for General Su?" Qin Sheng asked.

Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly again: "Isn't it because General Su is suspicious?" If I willingly accept the position of dean of the Cao Yuan, then General Su will definitely suspect that I have a conspiracy behind my back! In that case, I had no choice but to play a soft and hard play for him. ”

Zhang Shumo's words were half-true, and Qin Sheng finally chose to believe him. It's not out of trust in Zhang Shumo, but what Zhang Shumo said is indeed right, Zhang Shumo has no other way out than to swallow his anger and unite with Su Yi. And Zhang Shumo himself is indeed thinking about this, as for secretly recruiting troops, it is also to take precautions, just in case.

Qin Sheng went back to the General's Mansion and told Su Yi what Zhang Shumo said as they were. Su Yi was still a little skeptical after hearing this: "Did he really say that?" ”

"It's true, word for word!" Qin Sheng asked Su Yi for a package ticket. For some reason, Qin Sheng began to sympathize with Zhang Shumo, and at the same time was a little dissatisfied with Su Yi. He and Zhang Shumo were Su Yi's subordinates before, Zhang Shumo worked hard to defeat Xu Liang to welcome Su Yi back, but Su Yi was full of suspicion of Zhang Shumo, and he would not be able to keep it in the future. I thought that Su Yi was smarter than his eldest brother Su Chang, but now it seems that he is not the master!

In the next two days, Zhang Shumo and Zhu Man set up a shop on the street and bought things for trading. Seeing this situation, Su Yi also relaxed his vigilance, after all, he had just taken over many matters in Xu Liangcheng, and he couldn't focus on Zhang Shumo, and the spies who were monitoring Zhang Shumo's family gradually withdrew.

Seeing that the spies at the door of the house were removed, Zhang Shumo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately arranged for Lu Li and Hu Kun to bring money to build a stockade for Tibetan soldiers on the grounds of purchasing goods. At the same time, Zhang Shumo also asked the two to take Zhu Man away together to hide people's eyes.

Everything was arranged, and Zhang Shumo resumed his leisurely life. Chat with Lou Zaiying every day, or go to Xu Liangcheng with Liu Nature. After Liu Tiantian's efforts a few days ago, Xu Liangcheng's map was almost completed, Zhang Shumo laughed at him for doing this too much, but Liu Tiantian pretended to be mysterious and said that sooner or later he would be able to use it!

In the next two days, Wang Hu also began to run to Zhang Shumo's house every day, and always looked for opportunities to let Zhang Shumo go back to the original street to have a look. Zhang Shumo knew that Wang Hu's vanity was moved again, but he didn't let him get his wish. After Wang Hu ran home a lot, Zhang Shumo began to teach him to read again, Wang Hu still didn't pay much attention to reading, but was more interested in Liu Nature teaching Lou Guang to practice swords, and followed Liu Nature to learn swords whenever he had free time. Zhang Shumo shook his head helplessly, it seems that he is really not the material to be a teacher.

In a blink of an eye, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the city was stable for more than ten days, and finally there was a festive atmosphere, and every household was busy making Lantern Festival. Zhang Shumo also deliberately went to the street to buy some materials, wanting to try to make a Lantern Festival.

Zhang Shumo was busy preparing materials, Shang Lei hurriedly came to the door to ask for a meeting, and Zhang Shumo hurriedly greeted him.

"Zhang Gongzi is not good, Su Yi wants to kill Pang Yuan!"

"What!" Zhang Shumo was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, you explain it to me clearly." ”

Shang Lei told the general story of the matter. It turned out that after Su Yi took over Xu Liangcheng in an all-round way, he began to reorganize the 5,000 soldiers and horses under Shang Lei. Su Yi placed 1,000 people at each of the four city gates in the east, west, south and north, and was in charge of the four city gate captains. But these four city gate captains were indeed selected by Su Yi from the Western Route Army, which means that Su Yi divided the four thousand soldiers and horses in Shang Lei's hands.

You must know that Shang Lei has a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses, of which 1,000 are guarding the prisoners of the Northern Route Army, which means that after these 4,000 men and horses are separated, Shang Lei's men will have no one available! How could Shang Lei agree, so he went to Su Yi to theorize. Su Yi originally didn't know about the capture of the Northern Route Army, but Shang Lei leaked out of his mouth with such a theory, allowing Su Yi to get the news.

So Su Yi gave a death order, and these captives of the Northern Route Army either surrendered to the Western Route Army or died.

The infantry among the captives were fine, and with Su Yi's order, they surrendered to the Western Route Army. But Pang Yuan is a famous general, how can he surrender easily, or he will have a bad reputation. Pang Yuan was the leader of the cavalry of the Northern Route Army, he did not surrender, and the remaining more than 200 cavalry were not willing to surrender, Su Yi was furious, so he led people to kill Pang Yuan. Shang Lei knew that Zhang Shumo valued Pang Yuan, so he hurriedly ran to report the news.

After hearing this, Zhang Shumo immediately threw down the things in his hand and followed Shang Lei towards the place where Pang Yuan was being held. Although Liu naturally didn't listen to the conversation between the two, he knew that something big had happened when he saw the looks of the two, and without saying a word, he followed with a long sword on his back.

The group rushed to the place, Su Yi had already tied up more than 200 cavalry of the Northern Route Army and put them on the school field, and Pang Yuan was at the forefront.

"Pang Yuan, General Ben remembered that you were once a member of my Northwest Army, so I will give you another chance, will you surrender or not?" Su Yi stood in front of Pang Yuan and stared at him.

Pang Yuan was not afraid of Su Yi's eyes: "Boy, when I was fighting with the Jingguo army in the north, I am afraid you were still breastfeeding!" Don't use your official authority to pressure me, without your father, you can't even be a military commander! ”

Su Yi was not angry, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Pang Yuan, do you think I'm joking with you?" Since you don't cherish this opportunity, then don't blame me for being ruthless! After speaking, Su Yi suddenly became ruthless, took out his saber with a bang, and slashed towards Pang Yuan's neck!

"Stop!" Seeing this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly shouted! Pang Yuan is superb in martial arts and good at commanding cavalry, which is exactly the talent that the Western Route Army lacks, so he deliberately left him alive, if he was killed by Su Yi like this, his previous efforts would be in vain!!

At the same time as Zhang Shumo shouted, Liu naturally flew out directly, and before everyone had time to react, Liu naturally had already come to Su Yi's side and blocked Su Yi's knife with a sword.

Su Yi was very annoyed when he was interrupted, he turned his head to look, and found that it was Zhang Shumo, who was even more angry: "Zhang Shumo, why did you want to save Pang Yuan?" Are you having an affair with someone from the Northern Route Army? ”
